What Happens After We Die? Rediscovering the Heaven Within

The question of what happens after we die is one of the most profound and frequently asked questions in human history.

It taps into our deepest fears, hopes, and curiosities about the nature of existence and what lies beyond our physical lives. Many religious and spiritual traditions suggest that afterlife is a time of reward or punishment based on how we lived our lives on Earth. However, in this contemplation, we often overlook a crucial aspect: most of us never truly live in the first place.

The Ol’ Illusion of Deferred Reward aka 3 Card spiritual monty

Many people live their lives in anticipation of a heavenly reward, believing that true fulfillment and happiness are reserved for the afterlife. This mindset can lead to a life filled with deferred dreams and suppressed desires, as people endure hardship with the hope of a better existence after death. Many “spiritual teachers” use this concept as a crutch and hide behind sales techniques to keep people “coming back for more”. But what if the true essence of heaven isn't a distant promise, but something that can be experienced here and now? What if a person could bring the energy of some unseen peaceful dimension to the Earth realm through study and practice?

The Heaven Within and Living Fully in the Present

The concept of "heaven on earth" isn't just a poetic phrase; it’s a tangible reality that can be achieved if we shift our focus inward. Living a fulfilling life doesn't require waiting for an afterlife. It begins with an internal transformation, where we embrace the present moment and cultivate joy, peace, and contentment from within. This perspective aligns with many spiritual teachings that emphasize mindfulness and self-awareness as pathways to enlightenment and happiness. To truly live is to be fully present in each moment, to embrace the beauty and challenges of life without constantly yearning for something beyond our reach. This shift in mindset allows us to experience a profound sense of peace and fulfillment, regardless of external circumstances. It’s about finding joy in the journey and appreciating the present moment for what it is.

Harnessing the Power of E.F.V: Energy, Frequency, Vibration

Nikola Tesla, a visionary beyond his time, once stated, "If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration."

This profound insight not only revolutionized our understanding of physical reality but also opened the doors to an array of spiritual and healing practices. Among those leading the charge in this transformative realm is Brian Collins, a renowned spiritual healer whose work at his Newbury Street office in Boston’s prestigious Back Bay has garnered jaw-dropping results.

Tesla’s emphasis on energy, frequency, and vibration (EFV) lays the foundational principles for many modern technologies and healing methods. Energy, in its purest form, animates our daily lives and the universe at large. Frequency, the rate at which energy vibrates, defines the myriad ways this energy manifests, from the colors we see to the emotions we feel. Vibration, the rhythmic movement of energy, connects every particle in the universe, serving as the universal language of creation and transformation.

Brian Collins energetic abilities showcased in Guangzhou China 1996

For decades, Brian Collins has been at the forefront of applying Tesla’s EFV principles to his spiritual healing practice. His method, aptly named "EFV keys," operates on the belief that by understanding and manipulating these three core elements, one can harmonize the human body's energies. At his office, Collins has helped countless individuals and businesses achieve a greater state of well-being through his specialized approach. Clients that visited Collins' Newbury Street office often reported transformative experiences. By having Collins realign their energy, frequency, and vibration, individuals have found relief from chronic ailments, experienced heightened emotional states, and have even seen profound changes in their personal and professional lives. Testimonials often highlight an enhanced sense of clarity and purpose, a testament to the efficacy of Collins’ healing techniques.

The Science and Spirituality of EFV:

While Tesla’s insights were rooted in the physical sciences, their application extends far beyond.

The interplay of energy, frequency, and vibration forms a bridge between the tangible and the spiritual. In the hands of healers like Collins, these principles are not just theoretical concepts but practical tools that promote real-world healing and transformation. The legacy of Nikola Tesla’s exploration of energy, frequency, and vibration lives on through the work of spiritual healers like Brian Collins. His ability to harness these elements and apply them to healing is more than just a nod to Tesla’s genius—it’s a continuation of a journey towards understanding the deeper mechanics of the universe. As we delve further into this intriguing interplay of EFV, we not only unlock the mysteries of the cosmos but also empower ourselves to lead more balanced and harmonious lives.

This exploration of Tesla’s principles through the lens of spiritual healing invites us to view our own challenges and aspirations in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration. It’s a vivid reminder of the interconnectedness of everything in the universe and our ability to influence our own lives through these fundamental forces.

“Brian has an excellent bullshit detector and can be witheringly sarcastic about commercial or self-important promoters of sacred wisdom. The world is redeemed by masters like Brian who, out of compassion for sentient beings, share freely the wisdom that they have attained. My life has been immeasurably enriched by our encounter.””

— David Trimble Ph.D

Unpack the Subconscious Basement: How Inner Peace Can Help Tackle Global Poverty with Helena Collins

Hello, fellow spiritual adventurers and seekers of deeper understandings!

Today, let’s dive into a seemingly heavy but vitally important topic with a twist of humor: why understanding the root of our internal discord and worry is crucial not just for our own peace, but for addressing challenges like global poverty. In the world of personal growth and related global impact, it’s the first step toward achieving newfound insights and harmony. Just like a good spring cleaning, except instead of finding old magazines under your bed, you might discover long-held beliefs that are well overdue for a refresh and if need be, a trashing ( NOT a recycling). Before we can understand the enormity of external issues like global poverty—a concern so pressing it's highlighted on the United Nations website—we need to tidy up the internal landscape of the mind. Think of it as decluttering your mental garage. Out with the old, in with the new understanding! This process involves a deep dive into the self, much like an archeological dig, except you're brushing off skeletons of past emotions rather than dinosaur bones.

The Ripple Effect: From Internal Blocks to External Realities

Here’s where things get interesting. Apex Life in Synergy, led by the multi award winning visionary Helena Collins, the philosophy is that our internal energetic state can create ripples that extend far beyond our personal bubble. According to this philosophy, blocks and unresolved issues within ourselves might manifest externally, contributing to larger systemic issues like global poverty. It’s like when you’re so frazzled that you misplace your car keys, causing you to be late, which makes your whole day go off-kilter with missed meetings and scheduling back ups. Now, imagine that on a global scale!

Helena Collins' Apex Life in Synergy: A Deep Dive into the Subconscious

Helena’s program is akin to a deep-sea exploration of the vast ocean of our subconscious. It’s about more than just skimming the surface; it involves suiting up and diving into the murky waters of our subconscious basements to deal with all the "stuff" we’ve stored there—be it fears, outdated beliefs, or forgotten emotional debts. Participants in this program learn to recognize how their own inner turmoil might be invisibly connected to the world's larger issues. By healing oneself step by step, the idea is that you are also healing the world step by step. It’s about realizing that everything is interconnected. Your inner peace contributes to world peace, your resolved inner conflicts help to reduce the world's collective conflict energy, and your illuminated inner self begins to see that it can help light up the world.

The Interconnectedness of All

The crux of the Apex Life in Synergy program is awakening to the interconnectedness of all things. Imagine a spider web, dew-kissed in the morning light, each strand connected to the others, vibrating at the slightest touch. That's us. That's our world. Your inner vibrations can send waves across the entire web. So, dear seeker, as we embark on this journey of inner exploration and outer change, remember: every bit of clutter cleared from your subconscious basement not only sets you free but might just help lift the world a little higher out of despair by breaking the collective thought cycles that prevent humanity from ascending to higher states of being where topics like global poverty can be addressed and ended.

Here is to cleaning house, in every sense of the word! Together, let’s make a pact to explore, understand, and heal the depths of our inner selves—not just for our peace but as a crucial piece of the puzzle in solving global issues like poverty. Ready to roll up your sleeves and get to work?

The world—and our inner selves—await.

A Hidden Gem (For decades) in the Back Bay of Boston

Once nestled in the bustling Back Bay of Boston, there was a legendary studio named Life in Synergy®. It was a place of transformation, where the tired and weary came to rejuvenate their spirits and bodies. The studio’s magic was palpable; its atmosphere charged with positive energy and the promise of renewal.

Among the studio’s regulars was a woman named Betty ( Name and Profession changed for privacy). Betty was a high-powered lawyer, constantly battling the stress and demands of her career. When she first stumbled into the studio, it was out of sheer desperation—a last-ditch attempt to find some semblance of peace. The results were nothing short of miraculous for her. Within months, Betty felt like a new person. Her stress levels had plummeted, her health had improved dramatically, and her outlook on life had changed for the better.

Word of mouth spread on Life in Synergy®, and the studio’s fame began to grow.

One day, as Betty finished one of her sessions, the studio owner, Helena Collins, approached her with a request. Helena was planning to expand her outreach through a marketing campaign and hoped Betty would share her success story as a testimonial. However, Betty hesitated. “I'd rather not,” she said, a hint of sheepishness in her voice. “I mean, what if you get too popular? I don’t want to lose my spot here.”

Helena was taken aback. She tried to reassure Betty, “There’s room for everyone, and sharing your story could help so many others who are struggling just as you were when you first started.” But Betty shook her head, “I’m sorry, I just don’t want to,” she murmured before leaving. Helena stood there, an odd mix of disappointment and understanding washing over her. She knew fear energy often held people back from seeing the bigger picture. Betty’s reluctance was a clear example of the short-sighted, approach that ripples beyond individual actions and traps minds in loops of repetition.

In the grand scheme, Betty’s choice represented more than just a missed opportunity for publicity—it was a metaphorical dam holding back the waters of potential for the entire world. By choosing secrecy over support, Betty not only limited her own capacity for growth but inadvertently stifled the potential growth of all. Her actions were a microcosm of a broader societal issue where individualism often trumped collective well-being. Months passed, and while the studio continued to do well by winning many awards for excellence, Helena often wondered about the 'what ifs'.

The butterfly effect of Betty’s decision was subtle yet significant. It was a reminder of how interconnected everyone’s lives were, and how each decision, no matter how small or personal it seemed, had the power to influence the larger web of life.

Embracing Synergy: The Path to Elevated Consciousness

Helena Collins: Boston’s Wellness Guide and Fitness Master

In a world that thrums with the constant buzz of activity, information, and technology, our collective consciousness often seems tethered to the mundane, the tangible, and the immediate.

We find ourselves caught in a cyclical pattern of seeking external validation and material success, neglecting the profound depths of our inner selves. This detachment from our spiritual essence not only stifles individual growth but also hampers humanity's ascent to higher levels of consciousness. The journey to transcend these limitations begins with an understanding of the obstacles we face and the realization that within us lies the potential for profound transformation.

Energy Barriers to Ascension:

The Clutter of Modern Life:

Our daily lives are inundated with distractions that pull our attention in myriad directions. Social media, the 24/7 news cycle, and the relentless pursuit of material success create a cacophony that drowns out the quiet whispers of our souls. This noise makes it challenging to connect with our higher selves and to the universal consciousness that binds us all.

The Illusion of Separateness:

A significant hurdle in our spiritual journey is the deeply ingrained belief in our separateness. This illusion fosters feelings of isolation, competition, and conflict, distancing us from the truth of our interconnectedness with all beings. Recognizing our shared essence is crucial for spiritual ascension.

Fear and Resistance to Change:

Fear is a potent barrier to growth. It manifests as resistance to change, holding us back from exploring the unknown and embracing our true potential. This fear often stems from deep-seated beliefs and past traumas that shadow our perceptions of ourselves and the world.

Title: Elevating Our World: The Power of the Collective Consciousness in Synergy

In the tapestry of our global community, each thread—each individual's energy—contributes to the overarching pattern of our collective reality.

The vibrations we emit, consciously or unconsciously, interlace to form the current state of our collective consciousness. This energetic symphony sets the tone for our shared experiences, shaping our world in profound ways.

The Essence of Vibration: Fear, Anger, Love, and Truth

Vibration is not just a metaphor; it's the essence of all existence. Quantum physics has shown us that at the most fundamental level, everything is energy in motion. This energy resonates at different frequencies, which manifest in our lives as varying states of being and experience. When the predominant vibration is one of fear, the universe mirrors back to us all facets of fear—uncertainty, anxiety, and turmoil proliferate, influencing our actions and reactions. Similarly, if the collective vibrates with anger, we see an escalation in conflict, aggression, and division. These energies are not just feelings; they are powerful forces that shape our reality, attracting like frequencies and experiences. Conversely, when love and truth become the dominant frequencies within our collective consciousness, miraculous transformations occur. Harmony, understanding, and compassion flourish. Love, in its truest form, is an unconditional acceptance and a profound recognition of the interconnectedness of all life. Truth, its inseparable companion, guides us toward authenticity and away from illusion.

Understanding Energy Synonyms: A Lexicon of Vibration

To truly grasp the impact of our collective vibration, it's helpful to understand the energy synonyms that reflect the myriad ways these frequencies manifest:

• Fear manifests as insecurity, hesitation, and limitation.

• Anger expresses itself through resistance, aggression, and turmoil.

• Love blossoms as compassion, acceptance, and unity.

• Truth reveals itself in clarity, authenticity, and liberation.

Each of these energies attracts experiences of a similar vibration, creating a feedback loop that can either uplift or undermine our collective well-being.

The Path Forward: Choosing Our Collective Vibration

The state of our world is not a fixed reality but a reflection of our collective consciousness. By individually and collectively choosing higher vibrations of love and truth, we can initiate a profound transformation in our shared experience. This is not a passive wish but an active process of self-awareness, healing, and intentional living. For those ready to embark on this transformative journey, studying with Helena and Brian Collins at Life in Synergy® offers a pathway to elevating not only your own vibration but contributing to a global shift. Their guidance is not just about personal growth; it's a call to action for anyone who wishes to see a world not overshadowed by negativity but illuminated by love and truth.As we stand at this pivotal moment in history, the choice is ours: remain complacent, allowing lower vibrations to dictate our collective experience, or actively engage in raising our global vibration. By choosing the latter, we embrace the power to reshape our world, fostering a reality where love, truth, and harmony prevail.

The Invitation

The Curious Power of Blame and the Oxymoron Behavior It Unleashes

Life in Synergy.com

Let's talk about the world's favorite pastime.

No, not scrolling through social media for hours on end or trying to decipher the latest TikTok dance craze. I'm talking about the grand old sport of blame. Ah, blame – it’s like the glitter of emotions; once you open it up, good luck getting it out of... well, anything. But here's the kicker: blame, in its essence, is a fascinating display of oxymoron behavior. It's the yoga class of the psyche, bending us into emotional pretzels as we navigate the hilarious irony it often presents. First off, have you ever noticed how blame is the only game where everyone's playing, but somehow, nobody wins? It's like a perpetual game of hot potato, but instead of a potato, it's a flaming ball of "Not It!" The rules are simple: pass the blame as quickly as possible, and whatever you do, don’t get caught holding it when the music stops.

Why? Because accountability, my friends, is apparently lava.

The “It’s Not Me, It’s You” Phenomenon

Blame is the ultimate relationship tester, bringing out the oxymoron behavior in all of us. Picture this: two people arguing, each convinced of their righteousness, in a dazzling display of "It's not me, it's you." It’s the adult version of pointing fingers, but with more sophisticated vocabulary and, sometimes, passive aggression so thick you could cut it with a knife. And let's not forget the irony. Oh, the irony of shouting, “I’m not yelling!” at the top of your lungs, or the classic, “I’m calm! Can’t you see how calm I am?!” while resembling a teakettle about to whistle. It's the emotional equivalent of saying you're on a diet as you inhale the third slice of cake – delightful in its contradiction.

The Superpower of selective amnesia

Blame has this miraculous ability to grant us selective amnesia, particularly when it comes to our own faults. It’s a bit like those diet ads that promise you can eat anything you want and still lose weight. In the heat of a blame battle, our memories become as selective as a toddler choosing vegetables. “I never said that!” we proclaim, with the confidence of someone who has forgotten the existence of screenshots. It’s a superpower, really, the ability to edit our memories in real time to suit our narrative. Take note, Superhero flicks.

The big deep Moral of the Story

But here's the beauty of it all: in the absurdity of blame and the oxymoron behavior it inspires, there's a lesson to be learned. It's about taking a step back, laughing at ourselves, and realizing that maybe, just maybe, we're not always the hero of our own story. Sometimes, we're the comic relief, and that's perfectly okay. So, next time you find yourself in the blame game energy loop, take a moment. Laugh at the absurdity of it all. Because at the end of the day, life's too short to spend it in a game where the only prize is a bitter taste of self-righteousness. Let's choose joy, accountability, and a bit of self-deprecation instead. After all, a good laugh at our own expense is the best way to keep our egos in check and our hearts light. In the grand comedy of life, blame is just another scene. Play it well, play it with humor, and when in doubt, remember the wise words of the age-old saying: "If you can’t be a good example, then you’ll just have to be a hilarious warning."

Finding Light in the Maze of a Self-Reflection of ones head up ones own Ass: A Journey Within

Ass in deep meditation Life in Synergy.com

In the grand tapestry of life, there are moments that urge us to take a step back, to dive deep into the labyrinth of our own making, seeking truths and confronting illusions.

The phrase "placing one's head up one's own ass" might elicit a chuckle or a wince, but beyond its crudeness lies a profound opportunity for introspection and growth. It's about those times when we find ourselves justifying actions that, deep down, we know diverge from our true path or values. At the heart of human nature is a deep-seated need to feel justified in our actions and beliefs. This instinct can sometimes lead us into a spiral of self-deception, where we twist logic and emotions to suit our narrative. But why do we do this? The reasons are as varied as they are complex, ranging from fear and insecurity to pride and a deep desire for acceptance.

The journey of pulling ourselves out of this metaphorical contortion is neither simple nor comfortable. It demands vulnerability, courage, and an unwavering commitment to self-honesty.

Here are a few steps to illuminate this path:

1. Embrace Vulnerability: Admitting to ourselves that we might be lost is a form of strength, not weakness. Vulnerability is the ground from which growth can sprout.

2. Seek Wisdom in Stillness: In the noise of daily life, our inner voice becomes a whisper. Cultivating moments of stillness through meditation, nature walks, or simply being in silence can help us reconnect with our inner wisdom.

3. Courage to Confront: Facing the parts of ourselves we've ignored or buried requires courage. This process is not about self-flagellation but about acknowledging our imperfections and learning from them.

4. Forgiveness: Forgiveness, both for ourselves and others, releases us from the chains of past actions and attitudes. It opens the door to healing and transformation.

5. Guidance from the Universe or whatever the heck you believe in: For those of us on a spiritual path, seeking guidance from the universe, our higher self, or a higher power can provide clarity and assurance. Whether it's through prayer, oracle cards, or simply asking for signs, this guidance can be a beacon in our journey.

The Transformation?

Emerging from this deep colon based introspection, we find ourselves transformed. Our justifications and self-deceptions, once seemingly insurmountable walls, become stepping stones. We learn that our greatest challenges also hold the key to our most profound growth.

A Beacon for Others to find the light within ones ass

By sharing our journey into the dark recesses of our own tush, we become lighthouses for those navigating their own storms of self-justification. Our vulnerability becomes a bridge, connecting hearts and fostering a deeper understanding and compassion. In the end, placing our "head up our own ass" isn't a condemnation but a call to adventure—a challenge to delve into the depths of our being, to emerge wiser, kinder, and more authentically ourselves.

So let's embrace this journey with open hearts, butts and minds, for it is in our deepest reflections that we find our brightest light.
